TR19 inspection around Mayfield
At about 37 miles from central London, Mayfield sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Mayfield. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Crowborough War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Mayfield, about 5 miles north-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Wadhurst Castle is about 4.3 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Mayfield is about 5 miles south-east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. We carry out TR19 inspection for commercial premises of every kind in Mayfield and the rest of East Sussex. We cover 289 places across East Sussex, large and small. Our Brighton page covers sites nearby, about 21 miles away.
Work in TN20 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

How we handle TR19 inspection in Mayfield
A pre-clean survey looks at the whole system, from canopy to discharge. Access is checked along the full length, and record grease readings at set points. If you have extracts that have never been grease tested and kitchens whose menu or hours have changed, we can put it right.
In a small place like Mayfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
After the inspection, we send a report showing each reading, its location and photos. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Test grease regularly instead of relying on the calendar. It spots changes in how fast grease builds.
Why act early in Mayfield
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Missing records can put a claim at risk. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. A planned visit to Mayfield is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Mayfield
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Need a price for TR19 inspection? Please ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Mayfield
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Somewhere as small as Mayfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we book a time that will not disrupt cooking.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- We photograph the test points and record any sections we cannot reach.
- We send a report setting out the readings, photos and next steps.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Mayfield questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mayfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Mayfield are carried out by Wealden council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is Mayfield within the area you cover?
Yes. Mayfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes. Much of our work happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so you don’t have to close during trading.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
When should we have our next grease test?
We suggest a next test date in every report, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What grease levels does TR19 allow?
TR19® Grease says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere at 500 microns or more needs spot cleaning straight away.
Signs you need TR19 inspection in Mayfield
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Mayfield Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
